What a property could become is one question.

What it should become is the one that matters.

Different by Design

Independent Advice. No Conflicts.

Andesite Real Estate Advisors helps owners evaluate what a property could become and decide whether and how to pursue it.

The options, economics, and tradeoffs are on the table before any commitment is made. The work product is built to be used by whoever executes it, including the brokerage team if a sale is the answer.

We advise family offices, private property owners, and private investment platforms on repositioning, redevelopment, and ground-up development across retail, mixed-use, hospitality, and land.

We serve as real estate fiduciaries, with a flat fee paid solely by our client. Our fee is the same whether you hold, sell, redevelop, or recapitalize.

We accept a limited number of mandates each year, primarily through introductions.

Situations We Are Built For.

Andesite serves as an independent advisor when owners face complex property or platform decisions.

Asset-Level

  • You own a portfolio of properties acquired one at a time and need a coherent plan for what the family should own, and how, before the next generation takes over.

  • You own a long-held shopping center and need clarity on whether to sell, refinance, or redevelop, with the after-tax math on each path.

  • You own land in the path of growth and want to weigh hold, sell, ground lease, or joint venture before any broker, developer, or city knows you are considering a move.

  • You control a corner or assembled block with family partners who can't align on cash out, recapitalize, or hold.

  • Your team is negotiating with the city on incentives, infrastructure, or a public-private partnership and you want an advocate on your side of the table.

Platform-Level

  • You believe there is room for a new platform in your market and want the white space mapped before you commit capital.

  • You run a proven platform in one product type and want to test an adjacent one before you build a team around it.

  • You have the thesis and the capital but not the operator and broker relationships to build a pipeline.

Leadership

Principal Minded. Fiduciary Bound.

Adam Radcliffe has spent 20 years as an investor, developer, and operator across the full life cycle of land, retail, medtail, mixed-use, and hospitality assets nationwide. He advises family offices, private property owners, and private investment platforms on complex holdings, redevelopment strategy, and new platform builds.

He has overseen more than $1.3 billion in transactions across more than 5.3 million square feet, with prior leadership roles at Clear Path Asset Management, Singerman Real Estate, Alberta Development Partners, and Sage Hospitality.

Each of those roles put him on the owner's side of the table.

Andesite is built on what that taught him: the best results come when real estate is managed with an owner's discipline, and the tax and balance-sheet consequences of every option are on the page before the decision is made.

Adam is based in the Charleston, South Carolina area and works nationally.
